#Lithuania #readingaroundtheworld Impressive small press offering that weaves the story of an American teacher, Lithuanian interpreter, Lithuanian fairytales and the utter clash of American cultural optimism with Lithuanian culture. Written following independence the characters struggle with their new order after the Nazi atrocities and Soviet bureaucracy. Ex: US teachers staying at old Russian sailor brothel while the Mafia sleep in the lobby.
